Sad God

Sad God is a platformer-shooter roguelike in which you descend into a pit filled with monsters and traps. Gain strength from coins, take weapons from altars, touch an orb and race back to the surface before the lava catches you.

Game modes

Normal lets you retry a level after dying. In Hardcore, you must complete all 7 levels without dying. Completing both Normal and Hardcore unlocks Plus Modes, which add new monster abilities, select harder level chunks, make cursed weapons available and give bosses new levels of anger.

Enemies and equipment

The pit contains 7 bosses, a dozen monsters and many traps to discover. You can arm yourself with over 50 different weapons. The game also includes a secret fishing activity and has no “pick 1 of 3” menus.

Co-op

An unofficial co-op mode lets a second player join as the main character’s dog. Player 2 has one life and limited powers. Joining costs one of player 1’s hearts; in Normal mode, player 2 can join for free when player 1 has one heart remaining.
